Remove MBFC? Yes, that’s part of the discussion and the point of this post. The struggle seems to be over the API, but I’d love to have suggestions to bring to the rest of the team. As I have said multiple times, it is not my decision to remove the bot, I’m simply here for suggestions that the rest of the team would be open to.

None of the mods of /c/news contributed to its development afaik

Thanks, this was a very informative comment. I assume none of the IFCN signatories have a free API? Just asking since you seem pretty well versed on this

Can you elaborate on what you mean by improvements in other areas?

I apologize if this thread was misunderstood. Perhaps I was not clear that this was meant for improvements, it is not a vote on removal. Should that vote ever happen, the post would be clear about that.

All of my questions were only seeking to gain more information about people’s feelings. I apologize if it came off as a promise to enact anything in particular or an endorsement of any particular stance on the bot.

I’m not the admin who created the bot. I’m a mod who is collecting feedback on behalf of the entire mod team.

Just to be perfectly clear: because I am the face of this feedback, you can feel free to say whatever you want to me. It’s odd that you seem to harbor ill feelings towards me in particular just because I pushed for collecting user feedback on this issue.

My replies were good faith discussions with the users (except for the one joke above). I don’t control the bot but the mod team has been discussing this. By all means, if you want to blame the mod who took the initiative to solicit feedback, go ahead though. It’s worth noting that I can’t force admins to act though, only supply evidence.

Edit: to be clear, this post was always meant for constructive feedback to improve the bot.

Always appreciate feedback! As a .ml user, I’d love to hear more about your thoughts on echo chambers

Interesting. As the article notes, Shepard Fairey was very public about his disappointment with Obama. I guess, unlike many people on Lemmy, he realizes how this is a fight to save our democracy and accelerationism doesn’t work.
